Living in Basehor
Named for two brothers, built by a railroad
The Basehor brothers
Basehor is named for Ephraim and Reuben Basehor, Pennsylvania Dutch brothers who came to Kansas in 1854. Ephraim started as a hired hand, then bought that farm and more land around it.
Dedicated Nov. 30, 1889
Ephraim platted his land after the railroad was finished in 1889, and the town was dedicated that November. By 1910 it was a Missouri Pacific station with a bank, post office and telegraph office. It incorporated in 1965.
A school and a library from the founders
Ephraim donated land for a schoolhouse around 1900 and Reuben gave $1,000 for a library. A new high school went up as a WPA project in 1938, and today’s library opened in 2008.
